Shopping My Closet for BlogHer

Next Wednesday, I will be heading up to New York City for the mecca of all blogging conferences, BlogHer. I have my schedule set {kinda} so now I am focusing, on what else, clothes!

With the cost of the ticket, hotel, and transportation, I was left with a pretty tight budget when it came to clothes. So I turned to my closet {and my sister’s}. I knew I probably had a lot of outfits I could wear. I even dug into my bin of clothes that used to fit that now fit and found a ton!

I narrowed it down to 8 outfits {all from my closet}!

I am definitely packing #3 and possibly #4.

I did buy a new black dress that makes me look teeny tiny so of course I will be wearing that!

I am walk/running the 5K on Friday so make sure you look out for this shirt! And if you do see it, please take a picture and tweet it to me {@mrsgloves} with the hashtag #BeYouBH12! There might be a bar in it for you!

Now that the outfits are picked, it’s time to talk shoes! The wonderful people at 6pm.com sent me these super comfy black wedges! I will probably be wearing these 99% of the time.

I also have a pair of nude wedges that I will be packing. I knew I would be ok with the black and nude wedges but I wanted something special {sparkly} for Sparklecorn! That’s where My Shoe Connection came in. They were wonderful enough to send me these sparkly shoes! Best part, they make me so tall {which doesn’t take much} and they are comfy!

Up next, accessories! I knew I wanted a nice tote. Something small but that would fit my camera, iPad, and wallet. I searched everyone. I finally ended up at Ross and spotted this beauty on the clearance rack! That’s right, I snagged this Nine West tote for only $25!

My next stop for accessories was my favorite store, Charming Charlie. I knew I would find what I was looking for there. And I did…at a steal! All of their clearances items are Buy One, Get One Free right! I bought 2 belts and 2 necklaces for only $15!

Phew! I think that’s it. I think I am ready! Now I just need to pack…eek!

Disclosure: A huge thank you to Medifast for being a sponsor and helping me lose 37 pounds. I now have the confidence to wear those clothes and feel good about myself! Another thank you to My Shoe Connection for those rocking shoes for Sparklecorn. And lastly, a thank you to 6pm.com for the most comfortable wedges to wear in New York City!

  1. LOVE that black dress! Holy skinny mama. And those glitter shoes are just PERFECT!

  2. Love the shoes, they just make everything more fun. The LBD is great on you as well.

  3. You are going to be TOO cute! I love #4 from the first set, definitely pack it!

  4. I LOVE the #4 outfit in the first group. That would look great with either pair of wedges. And those sparkly shoes? It’s a good thing I’m not going. I would possibly attempt to wrestle them off your feet. And that would be weird. I hope you have a blast and stay safe!

  5. I am so overpacking, crap

  6. I am incredibly in love with those sparkle shoes!!

  7. Yup, I need to get on this! Love your choices though and that little black dress is adorable!!!!!
